Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Before she could finish speaking, the earth began to tremble violently. Su Wanxi quickly steadied herself and caught a glimpse of a thick concrete wall crashing straight down on her. The force of gravity reversed, and the rubble was sent flying by the sudden, enormous force.

Ying Qiuhuai's expression remained unchanged as her gaze drifted towards the distant west, where a blood-red sunset shone.

Dusk has fallen.

"Miss Su... Gu Cheng is located at the two o'clock position, eight kilometers away as the crow flies. If you are looking for her, please hurry."

Surtur has awakened, and the whole world is about to be engulfed in flames. Seeing that Ying Qiuhuai showed no intention of leaving, Su Wanxi suppressed her doubts and parted her lips slightly.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ying Qiuhuai smiled at her, her emerald green vertical pupils reflecting a crimson tide. After Su Wanxi walked away, she squatted down and sat on the pile of rubble, watching the lava churn and make gurgling sounds.

"After all, you are Miss Gu's most important anchor..."

The woman murmured to herself, letting the scorching lava wash over her fair, jade-like ankles. After about two or three minutes, she and the broken stone steps were submerged in the red tide.

......

At 5:21 a.m., the sun was setting, thick smoke and firelight enveloped the sky and earth, and everything was black and red. Gu Cheng stood next to a military green mortar, her hand covering her left eye, her back slightly bent, and her pearly white teeth biting her lips tightly.

"Are you ok?"

Noticing something was wrong, Jiang Xuewei asked her softly.

Gu Cheng rubbed her eyelids, her fingertips itching from the eyelashes, and unconsciously let out a muffled groan.

"My...eyes suddenly hurt a little..."

Of all times, at such a crucial moment.

When Su Wanxi had the prosthetic eye implant surgery, she specifically sought out the most professional surgeon, and the prosthetic eye was made of the most human-friendly material. In theory, she shouldn't have experienced this soreness.

Gu Cheng was extremely uncomfortable with her left eye socket being both itchy and painful. She squatted down and poured cold water from her military water bottle, gently covering the surface of her eyelid.

"If you really can't manage, you can go and rest in the shadows." Jiang Xuewei frowned, her tone slightly worried.

The second round of shelling was ready. Gu Cheng glanced at the mortar beside her, thought for a moment, and then shook her head and refused.

"It's okay, I can bear it."

If she weren't worried about bleeding and infection, she would have even wanted Gu Chengyan to remove the prosthetic eye directly.

After resting for a moment with his left eyelid closed, Gu Cheng took out the binoculars from his waist again and used his other eye to observe the crack. Surtur's chest had emerged from the abyss, and the muscles near the outer side were swollen and red, covered with molten lava.

"It's finally crawled out completely..."

The next second, several shells, trailing trails of flame, whistled past, their metal warheads piercing the target's chest. A burst of dazzling white light erupted, accompanied by deafening roars. When the smoke cleared, the hit area was completely unharmed, while the intense flames atop the giant's head seemed to shatter the sky.

Surtur pulled its arm, which had been clinging to the ground, back into the crack, and with a forceful tug, plunged its palm into the molten lava. After a moment, it produced a massive, deep red sword, as bright as the sun and burning with endless flames, and hurled it fiercely into the sky.

In an instant, the thick cumulus clouds were dyed crimson by the sword light. The sky and the earth seemed to be completely separated by this strike, the former rising and the latter sinking. The rolling heat wave destroyed all the buildings that hindered its spread.

The Blazing Demon Sword, the Fire of Surt, holds within it destruction and calamity.

Several kilometers away, Su Wanxi also observed the attack. She frowned uncomfortably, and with a light push off the ground with her black standard military boots, she moved quickly, breaking through the limitations of gravity.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by everyone, high in the atmosphere, the hot air from the volcanic eruption continued to rise, forming convection currents with the cold air at lower altitudes. The highly volatile gases generated static electricity due to air friction, and the charge was constantly accumulating.

The violent volcanic eruption ended, followed by hurricanes and thunderstorms.

Chapter 348 The Wife-Protecting Maniac is Online

"Qin Kexin, watch your back!"

A gunshot rang out, and the crimson rock armor was completely torn off by the Magnum bullet. Gu Cheng didn't have time to think. Tiny silver snakes instantly climbed up her arm, and the simplified version of the stun gun was ready. The next second, a bright blue light shone, and the gray-black monster emitting heat completely lost its ability to move.

Besides the fire giant Surtur, the volcanic ash that splashed onto the ground with the volcanic eruption also had the characteristics of being alive. They clung to the soil, and the flowing lava provided heat and power. Once the combination was complete, these demon-like monsters began to attack the camp spontaneously, and two mortars were destroyed in just half a minute.

"Sister Xuewei, protect Qin Kexin."

The situation was urgent, and the mental communication was in complete chaos. Gu Cheng used the most primitive method of shouting to communicate with Jiang Xuewei. Before he could finish speaking, the latter quickly grabbed the girl by the collar and threw her and her clothes into the shadow.

The connection point for mental communication lies in the soul, not the body. Even if the caster is inside the shadows, the communication channel can be used normally as long as the distance is not increased.

From carrying things to protecting people, Jiang Xuewei felt her abilities gradually shifting from an alternate-dimensional pocket to a multi-functional infantry vehicle.

Gu Cheng had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard intense gunfire overhead. An Awakened being with wings on his back and a rifle in hand floated in mid-air, pouring firepower down on the ground. Several Flame Demons were pinned down at the edge of the high ground and could not advance an inch. The next second, a mutated vulture tilted its body and swooped down, its sharp beak and claws aimed directly at the man's wings.

In a flash, azure fragments of light surged into the Tang sword. Gu Cheng estimated the distance and raised her arm to slash. A crescent-shaped arc of electricity pierced the air, and the frenzied energy struck the target directly. The mutated vulture was instantly turned into charcoal. The man looked at Gu Cheng gratefully, but little did he know that the girl had already turned around and was reaping lives with her long sword like mowing grass.

The blade, imbued with the power to erase concepts, could easily slice through metal. Even the strongest armor couldn't withstand a single, light slash. It killed at least twenty fire demons, and more flames rose from the depths of the molten lava. Gu Cheng gasped for breath, glistening beads of sweat sliding down her forehead to her cheek.

It wasn't that they were tired, but the surrounding temperature was too high, causing their bodies to lose water rapidly. If they held out for too long, they would inevitably fall. The awakened ones had limited stamina and could not handle the endless stream of fire demons. In addition, the air was getting hotter and hotter, so the situation would only get worse.

Someone has to step forward and kill Surtur.

"Mr. Ye, give me a portable rocket launcher."

Taking the heavy weapon handed to her by the man, Gu Cheng quickly flipped off the platform, her heels lightly touching the collapsed concrete wall. Hot lava surrounded her, and a slight misstep could mean certain death.

Gu Cheng held her breath, her body enveloped in a deep blue electric current.

Five minutes ago, the two A-rank Awakened members of the team had already left the artillery camp. They were the main attackers to deal with Surtur. Judging from the current situation, the two captains seemed unable to even scratch the skin of the fire giant.

If Su Wanxi were here, this thought was nipped in the bud by the woman.

Jiang Xuewei was temporarily unable to leave in order to protect the other members, and most of the steel mesh that could be used for riding in the environment had been melted away by the lava, leaving Gu Cheng with nowhere to land.

Strictly speaking, she did not possess the ability to fly freely.

After a running start and a jump over a platform nearly ten meters high, Gu Cheng felt a slight numbness in her legs and obvious soreness in her muscles. She spat lightly, and her thick eyelashes involuntarily curled up.

The range of the individual rocket launcher is about one kilometer. Surtur has already entered the effective killing range. Gu Cheng assembled the equipment according to his memory, found a cover, knelt down on one knee, and aimed at the hand of the Twilight Giant holding the Flaming Demon Sword.

"please."

Flames burst forth on her shoulder, and the recoil from the rocket launch made Gu Cheng's body tremble. Even through her earplugs, she could hear a heavy thud.

The result was the same as the previous two bombardments: the explosion, which was enough to destroy a vehicle, only caused a firework to appear on the giant's wrist.

"Tsk...it's impossible to break through their defenses..."

Gu Cheng glanced at the metal knife hanging at her waist, and the image of Surtur's knight's sword, as dazzling as the sun, flashed through her mind again. Compared to the two, hers seemed like a plastic toy for a child.

Before there was time to feel discouraged, the bio-electric radar showed that another humanoid creature was approaching at an unusually fast speed.

Again.

Gu Cheng quickly turned and aimed, only to be met with a pair of clear, dark eyes. After a brief silence, she exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get in..."

Su Wanxi wore a black bulletproof jacket, with a matching trench coat over it. Her long, shapely legs were encased in sheer stockings, and underneath were a pair of pure black standard military boots.

"Is it strange?" Su Wanxi waved the gun handle at her, her beautiful face slightly flushed, looking extremely alluring.

"I was worried something might happen to you, so I came in after cooperating with the staff to evacuate the crowd."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Cheng subconsciously frowned, her lips parting slightly: "Su Wanxi... are you out of your mind?"

The woman shook her head, her voice soft.

"Orange, I assure you there will be absolutely no problems this time."

You shouldn't have come in no matter what.

Gu Cheng was about to give his fiancée a lecture when he suddenly heard a cracking sound under his feet, indicating that the ground they were standing on was about to collapse.

"Su Wanwan."

Su Wanxi reacted even faster, instantly weakening and reversing the gravity. The two were lifted into the air by a light buoyancy. Gu Cheng looked at her lover who was so close to her, feeling half touched and half heartbroken. The words she was holding back finally turned into a soft sigh.

Since we're already here, nothing we say will change the outcome. The most urgent task is to find a way to kill the fire giant Surtur.

"Orange, what happened to your eyes?"

After a brief examination, Su Wanxi suddenly asked Gu Cheng, who paused for a moment before raising her hand to touch her left eyeball.

It was a little damp, and when I took my hand off, my fingertips were covered in bright red liquid.

"...She's bleeding."

Having been in pain for a long time, and now starting to bleed again, Gu Cheng pursed her lips, her expression becoming increasingly conflicted.

Why do they always fail at crucial moments?

"Don't worry about it, my left eye was already damaged anyway." Blood and sweat mingled together, and Gu Cheng felt a salty taste on her lips, making her breathing heavy.

"Su Wanwan, could you take me to that building over there?"

The girl pointed to the abandoned building not far away, where the high platform was positioned right behind Surtur.

"can."

Su Wanxi spoke concisely, wrapping her left arm around Gu Cheng's legs and supporting her back with her right hand, assuming a standard princess carry posture.

"hold me."

Su Wanxi gently instructed Gu Cheng as she pushed against the wall with her heels to gain horizontal acceleration, while maintaining her mental energy transmission. Gu Cheng heard the whooshing sound of the wind in her ears and sniffed lightly. There was no annoying burning smell, only the sweet fragrance of her lover.

Undeniably, lying in Su Wanxi's arms did help Gu Cheng relax a little.

Chapter 343, Section 349: Dazzling Heavenly Thunder

With two soft thuds, the only thing left in sight was his fiancée's smooth, fair neck and her magnificent, jet-black hair.

After a long time of fighting side by side, Gu Cheng even felt a little unreal. Su Wanxi saw that her face was covered in blood, and while glancing at the fire giant out of the corner of her eye, she took out a wet wipe from her waist to help wipe it off.

"Orange, what do you plan to do next?"

Su Wanxi hadn't been involved in crack repair for a year and a half, while Gu Cheng was frequently on the front lines and had a level of understanding of the creatures that had descended from her that was no less than Su Wanxi's. It was only natural that the command should be given to the latter.

"Even RPGs couldn't penetrate Surtur's defenses... It's something that can't be dealt with by conventional means..."

"Surtur?"

The woman keenly grasped the key point in Gu Cheng's words, and frowned as she muttered to herself.

"The destroyer of the world in Norse mythology, the fire giant that burned Asgard, it and Jormungandr participated in Ragnarok as god-slayers."
